  • A Summer of PKN & PT

    , ,

    It’s been a while since my last update, I know, but things keep on keeping. On the PechaKucha Night side of things, since April we held events both in May (Vol. 36, themed on “gaming”) and July (Vol. 37) at our usual venue of Studio 9. The July event marked the start of a “triple…

    I’m happy to say that I’m getting in the PechaKucha swing of things again, getting involved with the PechaKucha Night series in Shanghai in the lead-up to our move there. This is not to say that I left PechaKucha completely behind after I left Tokyo and the organization back in 2015. I’m still a strong…

  • Friday Fluke

    , ,

    Pretty much ever since I’ve worked at Ubisoft MontrĂ©al, I’ve sent out an email at 16:oo on Fridays to invite everyone on the team to take it easy as we head into the weekend. It started out as a pretty typical “beer mail” — as Production Coordinator on For Honor, one of the things I…

  • The Complete Guide to Drawing

    My buddy Adrian Hogan (co-organizer of the monthly PauseDraw series) did a presentation at the latest PechaKucha Night in Tokyo (Vol. 148) about the setup he currently uses (pictured) to sketch when he’s out and about.

  • Redesigning the Times

    ,

    As I mentioned a few times earlier this year, I was incredibly excited to see my buddy Andrew Lee redesign the Japan Times. At the most recent PechaKucha Night in Tokyo (Vol. 147, held on my birthday no less) he did a presentation on how the whole redesign came about, and it’s now available online.…

  • PechaKucha of the Day

    —

    ,

    I’m so happy to see this come out, a PechaKucha app! It’s a super simple idea, to have an app that shares a new PechaKucha presentation each day, and having played with it for a bit, it does just as advertised, with minimum fuss. I especially like the portrait images used for that day’s presentation…
